Jesus Christ. What an idiot. He can't even decide if he will sign the damn stop gap or not.

He couldn't find his ass with both hands in his back pockets.

He went and made a decision before checking the State Department over @Fox News!

It's insanity. Our country is running at the whim of a petulant 5 year old.

President Donald Trump will not sign the current Senate-passed funding measure that would avert a government shutdown, House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday.
==============================================
Merry Christmas! Vote Dem in 2020 & show this guy the door.

How fitting for a sack of miserable, hypocritical feces like Ryan: his legacy is to include the government officially shutting down in his last days in office

Good riddance to utter filth and the embodiment of what's wrong with our political system.

IF he signs the bill he will for sure be a one term president only.

Doesn't matter. Either way he's going to be a one term President. If even that.

Republicans controlled senate, republicans controlled house and Republican President. Dems have nothing to do with it and republicans could go nuclear option if they REALLY wanted to support Trumps demands. Nice try at trying to blame people that aren’t in charge like the typical con you are.

By shutting down the gov't, he is blinking.

Just in a moon-faced, semi-sentient Downs Syndrome manner. It'll help avoid seeing how this will cost the GOP bigly.

Odd twisting of this. Did Trump not say he would cave? Before that did he not say he would be proud of shutting it down?

If that were true, then it would be one hell of a damning statement about his followers.

Yeah, it wouldn't have anything to do with the Dems who won't compromise and give him an additional $3.4 billion for the wall.


Liberals are so funny.

Funny that the only thing Paul Ryan is really lamenting about is that he didn't get a chance to screw over more poor people before leaving.

Remember when the right was collectively tinkling in their panties when Obama allowed a shutdown in 2013? Yes, me too. I was one of those people, in fact. Remember the right having vapors because the 16 day Obama shut down cost $24 billion in economic activity? Me too. I was one of those people.

The difference between me and the citizens of Trump Fan Nation is I'm not a hypocrite.

Merry Christmas, Donald. While you're golfing in your see through pants on Christmas day, you'll be costing the country and your employees money. Yeeha!

Thank God for Trump standing firm and insisting on the wall funding.


I admit, my faith in him was wavering but he came thru in the end.

:roll: So Trump is the first President ever to force a shutdown if certain things were not worked on?

All 20 Government Shutdowns in U.S. History

Guess all these Presidents were "petulant 5 year olds" also eh?

All the other presidents didn’t shut down the government over an item they said someone other than the taxpayer would pay for.

Or did you already conveniently forget Mexico will pay for the wall from the 100s of times trump said it?
